       I keep writing a post and then aborting it before completion. Probably best to give up on this one.

       @i_understand I'd get a more accurate answer from my Magic 8 Ball.

       @lauren I wasn't thinking about it giving an actual answer to anything, just helping with wording.

       @i_understand Exactly. "Try again later."

       @i_understand More seriously, one thing I *don't* need is help from would-be brain-dead AIs with my writing.

       @i_understand By the way, did anyone ever mention that you spell "understand" in two different ways?

       @lauren must be a writer thing I suppose. I've never noticed it.

       @lauren that's weird, it's correct on my instance. I must have misspelt it when I created this account and then corrected it sometime after your instance cached it.

       @i_understand This is one of the things about Mastodon that really bugs me, inconsistencies like that in updates and caching. It's a real problem.

       @lauren yep.Things like hashtags also. I discovered the gup.pe group handler and realized that's actually how hashtags should work. Hashtags would be an immeasurably better experience that way.

       @lauren I regularly write posts and delete them without ever publishing.

       @lauren perhaps it's like visual art: not every 'thing' wants to be published. Maybe it's a seed for something else :-) Take care!
